After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

Today marks the end of "those days" for Erina Nakiri.

Hisako Shinto mustered her courage again and made a mild medicinal soup.

"Lady Erina, would you like some soup?"

“I stayed up for two hours specifically for you; you gave me guidance two weeks ago.”

"I've made adjustments to the areas that needed improvement. Come and try them out!"

Hisako Niito excitedly brought the medicinal soup to the pavilion, ready to let Erina Nakiri try it.

Erina Nakiri was holding a shoujo romance manga and reading it with great interest.

Completely immersed in the world of shoujo manga, I couldn't bear to put the manga down.

She glanced casually at the medicinal soup and said softly:

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Feishazi."

"Let's take a break. I don't really want to drink right now."

Erina Nakiri is naturally prone to becoming engrossed in and absorbed in shoujo manga.

I don't want to do anything else, I just want to focus on watching it.

Normally, Hisako Shinoto wouldn't have thought much of it.

Unfortunately, ever since she met Lu Xuanyu, Erina Nakiri has never eaten any of the medicinal dishes she has prepared.

Today, Hisako Shinto finally mustered up the courage to make her usual medicinal soup, but this was the response she received.

Hisako Niito felt a tightness in her chest.

"Does Lady Erina really care about what Lu Xuanyu said?"

"She probably won't..."

"You'll never eat my medicinal cuisine again!"

moment.

Hisako Shirato felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, finding it difficult to breathe.

"is my problem……"

"It's because I'm not capable enough..."

"If I could control Lady Erina's constitution..."

"If I could acquire more advanced and comprehensive knowledge of medicinal cuisine..."

"Lady Erina would never treat me so coldly..."

Erina Nakiri's indifferent reaction led Hisako Shinoto to imagine a whole drama unfolding before her eyes.

She didn't bother Erina any further, but instead went out for a walk to clear her head.

As we left the Nakiri mansion, a ghostly figure emerged from behind a tree.

"you……"

"How dare you haunt me like a ghost, still daring to show your face here!"

"Nao Saezuka!"

The girl, named Nao Satsuka, wore a clean school uniform, yet exuded a sinister aura.

Her long, straight black hair covered more than half of her face.

Through her hair, one could vaguely see her red eyes, which resembled the Sharingan.

In fact, beneath the long hair was a delicate and pretty face.

Like Hisako Shinto, she is a staunch supporter of Erina.

She even had a food battle with Hisako Shinto to compete for the position of Erina's secretary, and ultimately lost.

Because they are restricted from being within 50 meters of Erina.

Nao's obsession with Erina did not diminish; on the contrary, it gradually darkened and intensified.

Whenever he didn't have class or after class, he would hide in the shadows and secretly observe her with binoculars.

"Hisako Shinoto, this isn't a 50-meter restricted area, you have no right to interfere with me."

"One day, I will defeat you, you stupid woman, and take back Lady Erina, hee hee hee!"

Nao Satsuka let out a strange laugh, which annoyed Hisako Shindo.

"Recognize your own strength, Nao Satsuka."

"You're simply not up to the task, and you could never defeat me!"

"The only one who can protect Lady Erina is me!"

Hisako Shirato said with great confidence.

"just……"

"I saw that Lady Erina ignored your soup!"

Sooner or later she will despise you, hate you, and abandon you.

"At that time, Lady Erina will belong to me alone."

"The person standing next to her will be me, hee hee hee!"

“Chichichichi…”

Nao Satsuka's chilling laughter echoed in Hisako Shinodo's mind.

Erina Nakiri didn't realize that her medicinal soup was just the trigger.

It was only when Nao Satsuka exerted pressure that the spark ignited the fuse!

We absolutely cannot lose.

I absolutely cannot lose my position as Erina-sama's secretary!

This is more important than anything else she insists on!

With these combined blessings, Hisako Shinoto made up her mind and picked up her phone.

He dialed Lu Xuanyu's number, which he had saved beforehand.

"Hey, Genyu-kun, it's me, Hisako Shinto."

"..."

"May I become your disciple? I promise I will study diligently and will not bring shame to your sect!"

"..."

"I will respect you as a disciple respects his master, and I promise to follow your guidance and arrangements!"

"..."

"Thank you, but I have a request. Could you please keep this from Lady Erina? Ideally... no one else should know."

"I know this request is rude, but I will absolutely respect you even more in private. You can leave any chores to me!"

"..."

"Really? Is this really possible?"

"..."

"A secret base? Great! There's such a place? That's so lucky! I can go there this evening!"

"..."

……

Back to the hot spring bath.

Lu Xuanyu pointed to the sign next to the hot spring base and said:

"It's currently undergoing expansion and repair, can you see?"

"This place belongs only to the ninth seat of the Ten Outstanding Individuals, which is the property under my management."

"For the past month, they have been expanding and renovating until six o'clock."

“Any leisure and entertainment industry in Totsuki has a fully equipped kitchen.”

"Isn't this the safest and most secretive base after six o'clock every day?"

Lu Xuanyu spoke eloquently.

"So that's how it is."

"If that's the case, then it is indeed very confidential."

"Master Xuanyu, please guide me in the future!"

Upon learning the reason, Hisako bowed respectfully to Lu Xuanyu.

"Eh!"
